Stop Spying on Muslim College Students and Disclose NYPD Activities

It was recently revealed in multiple press reports that the New York Police Department (NYPD) has been involved in undercover intelligence gathering targeting Muslim student organizations and at least one member of the faculty on multiple campuses of the City University of New York (CUNY), including Queens College, Brooklyn College, Baruch, Hunter College, City College, and LaGuardia.

Official documents cited in press reports indicate that these investigations are not based on specific allegations of criminal wrongdoing, but take the form of "general background intelligence gathering."

These actions are in violation of the legal and civil rights of the groups and individuals targeted for surveillance, and the presence of the NYPD in a non-emergency situation on any CUNY campus without prior request or approval by CUNY officials would to violate a long-standing agreement between the NYPD and CUNY intended to protect students from unlawful investigations.

Tell the NYPD to stop spying on Muslim students with no cause, to disclose the full extent of their activities on CUNY campuses, and to disclose to any investigated students that they have been under surveillance. Official documents cited in press reports indicate that these investigations are not based on specific allegations of criminal wrongdoing, but take the form of general background intelligence gathering. These actions are in violation of the legal and civil rights of the groups and individuals targeted for surveillance.

The presence of the NYPD in a non-emergency situation on any CUNY campus without prior request or approval by CUNY officials would to violate a long-standing agreement between the NYPD and CUNY.
